Maybe you should raise possums? Do you think they eat snakes around your area.

Don't we all raise possums indirectly? I thought about renaming my place to Rockin' Anchor Possum, Raccoon, and Skunk Farm.:laughing:

I guess. :laughing:

Not many opossums around here, a few. Raccoons are around but not in great numbers. Plenty of skunks. We have more porcupines than opossums.

When my pond was dug, the excavator guy stacked up a bunch of junky trees in a tall pile. The porcupines took up residence in that pile. Now, a lot of the trees growing around that pile have had their bark stripped off by the porcupines. They can kill a small-average size tree in about one year. Oh well, it gives the pileated woodpeckers somewhere to work. :laughing:

Long-term, it's good for wildlife. After the woodpeckers make some cavities, birds and flying squirrels nest in them.

67F, no rain last 24.

Big day ahead. My friend Lenny, visiting from sunny Michigan is coming over today to help install my 16 solar panels on the roof. Seat time as this involves lifting them up with the tractor. Hopefully, the wife will get some good pics.

Have a great day.

Be careful and good luck. Hope it goes without a hitch.

There is one nice thing about possums, well, not really...

tornado alert just raised. I guess there's some serious wind coming in with this rain.

Hand plucked possum fur is being bought at $125 per kg (2.2lb). The fur is said to be hollow and when mixed with Merino wool it is knitted into gloves, mittens, socks and scarves.
They are very warm and not cheap.

I did know of one small cottage industry venture that was canning them and selling it as dog food.
